Your Mag 254 is unable to get Kodi,
Kodi (formerly XBMC) is a free and open-source media player software developed by the XBMC Foundation, a non-profit technology consortium. Kodi is available for multiple operating systems and hardware platforms, with a software 10-foot user interface for use with televisions and remote controls. It allows users to play and view most videos, music, such as podcasts from the internet, and all common digital media files from local and network storage media.
It allows you to watch pretty much every tv show and movies for free by using "addons".

IPTV is live TV
KODI is like Video on Demand (but also had some live feeds but not as good a selection depending on what your looking for)
Having both is like having cake and eating it too !!
All depends on what you watch and how you watch it. If your a PVR kinda person and watch everything after the fact on your own schedule then Kodi is perfect for you.
If you prefer to watch your TV live on their schedule then IPTV is it.

date gave you some good starting tips 
Just read thru some of the forums discussing different boxes.
Take notice of the avov boxes. They are not kodi, but not unlike either, just easier

avov has addons/apps same as what you find with Kodi, just with avov the apps are limited. You don't have to do all the work yourself with avov, the avov box does it for you.
The avov also does IPTV with the TVOnline app.
Avov has two receivers to date. The Avov Vixo1 and the Avov TvOnline models.
The Vixo would need to install the app (the receiver does everything for you here), then IPTV works.
With the TVOnline model, that tvonline app is pre-installed/built into the user interface.
TVONline model has less addons available compare to Vixo1 model.
Avov is almost best of both worlds.
